Papertrey August Release in Review

It's Release Day at Papertrey Ink! All of the new goodies we've been sharing the past few days will be available tonight at 10pm ET. Do you have your wish list all ready to go?

I have lots left to share today, so let's jump right in ...

First up is a cute Halloween card that I made with Betsy Veldman's Dress Up Dolls: Halloween. I adore both the ghost and pumpkin costumes as well as the trick-or-treating extras. For today's card, I've used just the ghost costume by itself, no doll underneath, no feet or accessories or anything. I wanted the ghosts to have a floating look.

The background of my shaker window is stamped with Lexi Daly's Alphabet Soup (love this!). The frame pieces are all from the previously released Cover Plate: Pretty Frame die.

Kay's other set is Stylized Autumn. I love the clean, graphic look of the florals and leaves. And that fox?! So cute!

I inked blended the bottom right corner in Aqua Mist, then did some stamping over that. The two vertical white frames were cut with one of the Keep It Simple Frames dies. Then I began adding all the stamped die-cuts (leaves, flowers, and the sweet fox).

This next card is a little more funky and modern than my norm! Alphabet Soup by Lexi Daly is in the background. The sentiment and leaves are all from Maile Belle's Fancy Foliage and Fancy Foliage Details. I love these leaves SO much. I'm just going to tell you right now, expect to see these often!

The Luxe Gold Adhesive sheet leaves add so much to this card design, but unfortunately don't photograph so well. In real life, there's a nice contrast between the gold foil and the Limeade Ice stamped leaves behind.

Amy, you were a busy bee! Such cute cards and I love the color combos. My fav is the one marked for a teenage recipient. The white embossing almost looks like it was stitched not powder. Thanks for sharing and inspiring.

Just love these! I am having a HUGELY tough time trying to decide what to NOT buy this month! I just love it all....and your cards are not helping. You have me convinced I DO need all of the stamps and dies. Your cards have such great details. I learn so much looking at your posts! Thanks for the inspiration, you enabler you!
